Coupling methods for efficient simulation of spatial population dynamics

چکیده

Coupling is a widely used technique in the theoretical study of interacting stochastic processes. In this paper I present an example demonstrating its usefulness also in the efficient computer simulation of such processes. I first describe a basic coupling technique, applicable to all kinds of processes, which allows trading memory use for a limited speedup. Next, I describe a specialized variant of it, which can be used to speed up the simulation certain kinds of processes satisfying a monotonicity criterion. This special algorithm increases the speed by several orders of magnitude with only a modest increase in memory usage.

Diffusive Dynamicsof Binary Lennard-Jones Liquid in the Presence of Gold Nanoparticle: A Mode Coupling Theory Analysis

Molecular dynamics simulation has been performed to analyze the effect of the presence of gold nanoparticle on dynamics of Kob-Anderson binary Lennard-Jones (BLJ) mixture upon supercooling within the framework of the mode coupling theory of the dynamic glass transition. The presence of gold nanoparticle has a direct effect on the liquid structure and causes the peaks of the radial distribution ...

Aphid Population Dynamics in Agricultural Landscapes: An Agent-based Simulation Model

Presently, there are many population models in existence, but these are often case specific, function at a single spatial scale and fail to tackle the complexity arising from individual actions and interactions that exist in the real-world. A spatially explicit agent-based simulation model has been developed to represent aphid population dynamics in agricultural landscapes. Over time, the aphid...

Dynamics of Macro–Nano Mechanical Systems; Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method

The continuum based approaches don’t provide the correct physics in atomic scales. On the other hand, the molecular based approaches are limited by the length and simulated process time. As an attractive alternative, this paper proposes the Fixed Interfacial Multiscale Method (FIMM) for computationally and mathematically efficient modeling of solid structures. The approach is applicable to mult...
